Our entrepreneurial community is founded on a bedrock of both local and national companies committed to providing support and resources to North Carolina’s entrepreneurs. Without these supporters’ generous contributions of time, money and expertise, CED’s mission of establishing a self-sustaining community of entrepreneurship in the Triangle would not be possible. Below is a complete directory of all the Strategic Partners, Professional Firms and other supporting organizations that are available to help entrepreneurial companies reach their full potential. We thank them for their support and value their involvement with CED.
